Episode 2 recap: Zhu Guan Wen sees through Lin Bao'er's plan and plays along.
Zhu Guan Wen pays respects to his mother, informing her that he has finally encountered Xue Tong. He recalls how she was covered in scars hiding in a corner and wonders why she suddenly disappeared. Now that Xue Tong has reappeared as Lin Bao'er, the truth may soon be revealed. Lin Bao'er returns to her former home, which has now become the Zhu residence, marking the beginning of her revenge.
Lin Bao'er arrives at the Zhu residence, and a maid asks her to take a seat. Zhu Guan Wen's mother's photo happens to be placed nearby. Zhu Guan Wen comes over and asks Lin Bao'er to put the photo down. He approaches her closely and inquires why she approached him. Lin Bao'er playfully responds that Zhu Guan Wen is incredibly charming. As her finger continuously heads toward Zhu Guan Wen's chest, Lin Bao'er prepares to undo his robe. Zhu Guan Wen seizes the opportunity to embrace her, surprising Lin Bao'er, who quickly evades his grasp.
Lin Bao'er hastily claims that she was joking and came here for business purposes. Zhu Guan Wen reveals that he also wants to make a deal with her and proposes that if they succeed, the transaction will be their marriage. Lin Bao'er hesitates, considering that she is currently seen as a public enemy in town after stealing the mayor's son-in-law.
Before reaching a cooperation agreement, Lin Bao'er lays down her three conditions, to which Zhu Guan Wen readily agrees. Lin Bao'er expresses her surprise at marrying into the Zhu family, and Zhu Guan Wen mumbles that he never expected to marry Lin Bao'er.
Just as Zhu Guan Wen prepares to kiss Lin Bao'er, she intentionally evades him, and Zhu Guan Wen falls into a drowsy sleep.
Dou Lili went to find Zhu Guan Wen's stepmother to complain, first diverting Zhu Guan Wen's attention and then asserting her dominance over Lin Bao'er.
The stepmother had always demanded Lin Bao'er to serve her tea, and she even had a maid bring a teacup, intentionally mentioning that it was an heirloom. Lin Bao'er naturally refused to back down and retorted. At that moment, Zhu Guan Wen arrived and declared that there was no need for Lin Bao'er to serve tea, dismissing the maid. After all, Zhu Guan Wen's biological mother was not the stepmother.
At this moment, the Zhu family and Mayor Dou came out together, emphasizing the importance of their cooperation. Since Lin Bao'er's family matters were significant now, Zhu Guan Wen's father refrained from saying much and simply instructed him to personally go to the Dou family and apologize. Lin Bao'er happened to see Qian Tong approaching. She had encountered all the people who had plotted against the Xue family, and her next goal was to make them return everything that belonged to the Xue family.
